Jeannette Sedor

Jeannette Sedor is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 17 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. She approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion to help people take the first step toward change.

Jeannette adjusts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs. She uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to guide sessions. That mix lets her address thought patterns, emotional responses, and relationship dynamics in straightforward ways.

Sessions often involve talking through recent problems, noticing unhelpful thinking, and trying small behavior changes between meetings. Mindfulness exercises and attention to attachment themes can help clients manage strong feelings and rebuild trust in relationships. Cognitive tools are used to break cycles of worry and low mood.

She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, chronic illness or pain, major life transitions, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment concerns, body image, first responder and veteran issues, and mood disorders such as bipolar and panic concerns.

Jeannette aims to create a calm, practical space for people to explore goals and try new ways of coping. She encourages steady progress through simple, doable steps and ongoing collaboration about what is working.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jeannette uses client-centered listening to make space for each person's story and priorities. That approach focuses on understanding what matters to the client and shaping sessions around their goals.

She also works with cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative behaviors for anxiety, anger, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which combination of listening, CBT tools, and mindfulness practices fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a team effort where plans are adjusted over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people use practices like mindfulness and thought records between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
